* L&L 1943-5: [[Cortland Gospel Chapel, NY|Courtland]], N.Y.: "Three families gather in my home each Lord’s day at 4:00 p.m. to “remember the Lord” in the breaking of bread. About a year ago, Harold Harper spent a week with us proclaiming the Gospel, and has been a great source of help and encouragement to us. Also Milton Parkhurst (now with the Lord) from the [[Cornerstone Bible Chapel, Rochester, NY|Carter St. meeting]] in Rochester, N. Y., had a week of
Gospel meetings with us. Thus far we have met only to break bread, but we are trusting in the near future to establish a Sunday School and evening Gospel meeting if the Lord so leads. We covet your prayers that this testimony may increase and that many others may be gathered in His name. Amos Perry Bishop, Jr." (b. 1895 Readsboro, Bennington, VT - d. 1959 Cortland, NY)
* L&L 1943-10: Guelph Bible Conference Grounds: "The season just closed at the Bible Conference Grounds has been one of the best. This calls for much thanksgiving to God because it was with grave consideration that the Grounds were continued this year in the face of government restrictions and handicaps: The Dominion Day Conference was a time of rich blessing under the ministry of Peter Pell and David Kirk: The General Conference from July 24 to August 8 was well attended by many Christians from Canada and from the United States and Christ was exalted in the ministry of Richard Hill, and H. G. Lockett: The Summer Bible School for young people was above and beyond all expectation when
the registration rose to 50% beyond all previous records. Many were there from New York, Rochester, Buffalo, Detroit and many centers in Canada. Five definitely professed faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and a number were restored. Nine were baptized. It was 15 days of rich joy and blessing. Ministry was given by H. G. Lockett, [[Alfred Perks Gibbs|A.P. Gibbs]], C.E. Tatham, John Smart, R.E. Harlow, and C.R. Baehr. The girls’ work was taken by Miss M. DeVries. The number staying on the Grounds over the Labor Day Conference was the largest in the history of this work. All accommodation was taxed to capacity. The hearts of the Lord’s people were warmed with the edifying ministry of August VanRyn and Sidney Burnham."
* L&L 1943-11: "Donald Hunter stopped at Rochester and Buffalo, N.Y. enroute to [[Ontario]]. Upon returning home he expects to spend several weeks ministering in [[New Jersey|N.J.]], nearby [[New York|N.Y.]], and [[Pennsylvania#Philadelphia|Philadelphia]]."

* L&L 1947-7: June 6: James Gibson, 809 Maitland St., [[Ontario#London|London]], ON: "Have been helping in many assemblies in New York and New Jersey. The Lord also blessed the saints in some of the Italian meetings. On my homeward journey I will visit Rochester, Niagara Falls and others. It is nearly five months since I left home and the Lord has not only blessed the assemblies but has blessed His servant as well."
